Your Trusted Hair Salon in Sydney | Scarpa Hair
Scarpa Hair represents three generations of excellence in hairdressing, blending European precision with modern Australian style. Founded on a legacy dating back to the 1940s, our family tradition began in Italy with my grandfather, Michael Scarpa, who pioneered avant-garde hair design. My father, Nikolas Scarpa, established Sydney's first Scarpa salon in Double Bay during the 1970s, where I spent my formative years immersed in the artistry of hair care. After successfully expanding our Milan salon for over two decades, we have returned to Sydney to reintroduce our signature approach to hairdressing. Our team of award-winning stylists combines technical mastery with creative vision, offering bespoke services from precision cuts to transformative colouring techniques.With a commitment to innovation, we utilise premium products and advanced treatments to ensure optimal hair health. Our Double Bay location provides a luxurious yet welcoming environment where clients receive personalised attention from industry-leading professionals. This heritage of excellence, combined with contemporary trends, positions Scarpa Hair as a destination for discerning clientele seeking superior hair care. We maintain rigorous standards across all services, from everyday styling to bridal hair, ensuring every client experiences the Scarpa difference. Our dedication to continuous education ensures our team remains at the forefront of industry advancements while preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Services
Cut & Style
Our precision cutting services combine technical expertise with artistic vision to create tailored hairstyles. Using advanced sectioning techniques and premium tools, we deliver modern cuts that enhance natural features. Each styling session includes professional product application and finish, ensuring long-lasting results that suit individual lifestyles and hair types.
Hair Colouring
Specialist colour services range from classic base colours to multidimensional balayage techniques. Our colourists use ammonia-free formulas and toning treatments to achieve vibrant, long-lasting results while maintaining hair integrity. Consultations ensure optimal shade selection that complements skin tones and personal style preferences.
Keratin Treatments
Advanced keratin infusion treatments smooth frizzy hair and reduce styling time. The semi-permanent treatment penetrates hair shafts to restore protein levels, lasting up to three months with proper care. Ideal for damaged or curly hair types seeking straighter, shinier results without chemical relaxers.
Bridal Services
Custom bridal hair design includes trial sessions and on-site styling for wedding parties. Our specialists create timeless updos and romantic styles that last throughout celebrations. Packages include coordinating hair accessories and touch-up services to ensure perfect photos and lasting memories.
Blow Dry
Professional blow dry services transform hair into polished, camera-ready styles. Using tourmaline-infused tools and heat protectants, we create volume, smoothness or defined waves. Loyalty packages offer cost-effective solutions for regular styling needs while maintaining hair health between salon visits.

Brilliant job by Monica (colourist) and Max (cut). My hair needed a colour fix and cut after using supermarket products during lockdown. They rescued and transformed my hair and colour first go. Would definitely recommend.

Luana is a life saver. I originally walked in fir advice on how to do something about a disastrous haircut I received from elsewhere. Luana provided me advice on what I would need to do if I wanted to cut my hair but gave the alternative of extensions and I am so happy that I made the choice. They squeezed me in , it was quick and efficient and the care advice was thorough and helpful. I will be back Thank you

Helena and Max are so friendly. I got an amazing scalp massage and hydrating treatment, and also a cup of tea. Max listened to what I wanted and gave me a perfect cut. They use premium products that smell so good! The salon is in a lovely location, and its personal and not too noisy. Id highly recommend them.
